The rheumatology panel qualified medical examiner and psychiatric found 100% permanent total disability due to the injured worker’s chronic pain, psychological condition and other symptoms related to chronic pain. Rowen, Gurvey & Win argued that the chronic pain and the need for use of narcotic medication was enough to result in a permanent total disability with no apportionment as the chronic pain issues could not be apportioned to any other cause.
